Answer 1

I'm quite sure this is to do with not having the module loaded correctly or the .dll being placed in a improper location.

You can use PHP's internal function extension_loaded() to check prior to using the class,

That's a method you can check if the module is even being reconsigned by PHP at all. PHP also provides a function to view your current extensions get_loaded_extensions():

Make sure you do:

• Check your correct extension library folder location within your phpinfo()
• Perform a hard restart of your xmapp/wamp server.
• If you're on PHP 5.4 or upwards (Like yourself!), see site below for the updated binaries

After researching too, Imagick does seem to have trouble with PHP 5.3 or upwards; Download new DLL's from this site below (Unofficial):

Also found other StackOverFlow Articles that have the same problem:

Alternatively you're able to use the GD extension to more or less accomplish some of the same functions you require. I do believe GD is a more widely supported module/extension in more recent versions of PHP.
